For a modern SXS the BSS is a hard one to beat.

Thanks Russ, that's a knockout piece of wood on it. I waterfowl hunted with mine after they mandated steel shot for the better part of 20yrs. and also have never had a problem with it. Mine is also a straight stock with a beavertail and I truly love shooting it. It's my foul weather gun. The Parkers and Foxes only come out on nice days.

Russ;
I agree with the age/wisdom thing. Unfortunately ducks and geese like the rainy days. So do my labs who somehow manage to deposit most of the marsh mud on my gun. Does'nt bother me too much with the BSS but with my finer guns I tend to take offense to the muddy mess.

For those that own DH/Grade 3 and higher safe queens a sloppy day or rough times in the duck boat are perfect for the ol' worn Grade VH or GH. Those guns need love too! Heck, if your AH could talk it would call you a SOB for leaving it in the safe on any hunting day!

Makes sense to me. Is'nt it raining most of the time in England? They should be used to it.

Mark;
My old Sterlingworth seems to like the "Fowl" weather.
